We've probably done this before, but....

That was an amusing little "test".

I know it's just for fun, but it would certainly be more of an accurate test if the available answers to every question weren't so extreme on both sides and offered a (non-comical/sarcastic) middle ground/neutral answer.

Here's what my test netted:

Your result for The Motorcycle Personality Test by ...

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 8 moxie, 8 zeal, and 0 pomp!

You're addicted to speed, but have the knowledge and experience to match. Although you like to win, you don't really care so much about competing with others as much as competing with yourself.
Your bike is the Yamaha YZF R1. Given how easily the rear wheel on this beast spins up coming out of turns, it is fortunate that you constantly work to improve your skills. (I've seen more R1s crash at track days than any other bike.)

It was a close decision with the Suzuki GSXR1000, but your personality seemed a bit more R1-ish. (But hey, I could be wrong. Its only a silly test.)

I wouldn't say that I'm addicted to speed, but I do have my weak moments from time-to-time when the road ahead is clear. :whistle: :laugh:

This is what mine said.

Screw that, I like my GPZ's:P
Just glad I didn't get Softail:P

Score = 4 moxie, 14 zeal, 1 pomp :dry:


Silly website spelled Concours 14 as FJR 1300 :blink:

They got me on a HD also, but I gotta say, that if I ever were to get one, it would probably be an old sportster.
Harley 883 Sportster

"You scored 2 moxie, 2 zeal, and -2 pomp!

You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.
However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.

You might have noticed that's a lot of moolah for an (arguably) obsolete piece of machinery, and you're too rational and attitude-free to need the Biggest and Baddest that the marketeers tell you to buy. A far more reasonably priced taste of the Harley Kool-Aid is the 883 Sporty, a fun little beast that leaves you with plenty of cash to customize.

On the other hand, the only reason I'm bringing up the Harley-Davidson product line at all is due to the fact that Harley is the choice most people think of when they consider getting into motorcycling, and that's mostly because they don't know much about the alternatives.

Thought experiment: if you were the only person left on earth, and you could pick any motorcycle you wanted, what would you choose? Best looking or best engineered? Your test results don't really point in any direction strongly, so I'll try to nudge you towards substance over style.

Consider: a FXST Softail weighs 629lbs dry, the base version starts around $14k, and will make 75-80hp -- after you tweak it with pipes and a jet kit. A Buell XB12R weighs 395lbs dry, costs $10.5k and makes 103hp, stock. An Aprilia Tuono R weighs 417lbs, costs $12k, and makes 125hp, stock. (We won't even mention the bang for buck of the Japanese competitors.) Still a fan of retro-classic styling? Then at least consider Harley's V-Rod, which mixes in some modern engineering into the equation (596lbs, 125hp, $17k).

While the Sportster is a reasonable compromise, you may discover that you enjoy the added feedback provided by standard-style bikes such as the Suzuki SV or the Ducati Monster. (If you must hang with the Harley crowd, they'll be less likely to give you grief if you choose the Buell, though.)

You have the potential to be a great rider. Take the MSF class, and choose a bike that won't hold you back!"

OK this test must be done by a Harley lover lol. It seems odd because I have had over 100 personal bikes and earn half my living selling rebuilt wrecked bikes and good used bikes. I almost always have atleast one old KZ for a fun machine and the 883 hit close to the mark because my personal bike is a hot rod Sprortster and 883 1200 conversion, 883 with 1212 jugs, crane cams 42 Mikuni crane cams solid bilit rear (for burn outs) and a 21 wire spoker front (cause it looks cool) my last one was an 883 custome with Buell a heart transplant . It said I have 0 zeal lol I do a sporty build up every sping and never waist money on paint or crome. My last 2 KZs where 440 and 550 and where daily drivers that I really hated to get rid of. I have gone as long as 3-4 years owning nothing but Bikes and have riden more than 100 miles in a trip in snow storms. I have ridden when it was 15 below.
0 zeal bwah ha ha ha ha.

YZF R1,,,,,damit ,, I was going for the Harley:woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
